Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Our daughter Faith and I attended the Haddam Neck Fair on Sunday. If I hope to stay close to the theme of Linda’s weekly challenge, I need to seriously curtail my desire to explain everything that we saw, and everything we ate, and the one precious thing Faith discovered as we were leaving. The Haddam... Continue Reading →
I know I’ve shared doors from Old Sturbridge Village before, some night shots from our Christmas tradition and some photos of the gingerbread houses, but I can’t resist sharing some pictures from our visit there on Father’s Day. I’m pretty sure I have several that I have not shared before. If you want to scroll... Continue Reading →
Sunday was Father’s Day, and our daughter Faith took me to breakfast and then to Old Sturbridge Village. OSV was having a Father’s Day event – Baseball, Beer and BBQ – which seemed interesting.

Also, since I usually have abundant free time on Friday and Saturday nights (that’s the way I like it, by the way) I have plenty of time to research and... Continue Reading →
The little mall that is closest to us, is up for sale. Not just on the market, heading to the auction block. It was never much of a mall, but we always liked going there. Also, going there made going to the big mall in Holyoke, MA a special event. I will age myself mightily... Continue Reading →
A long time ago, my wife and I realized that we don’t enjoy many of the same ingredients on pizza. We tried “half with…and half with…” but we don’t eat the same amount of pizza either. Besides, I’m always worried about olive juice seeping under the cheese onto my half. We started ordering two small... Continue Reading →
